With 95 mm of lead shielding in the side walls and robust steel construction, this cask enables safe movement of radioactive waste drums while maintaining worker dose rates at acceptable levels.

Shielding for internal facility transport and storage

Nuclear Shields designed this shielded cask specifically for storing and moving 200-liter drums between locations within your facility, from waste generation points to storage areas, processing stations, or loading bays. The cask accepts a single drum, providing complete shielding coverage during transport operations. Unlike long-term storage containers, the SWB1120 is optimized for repeated loading and unloading cycles. The open-top design with removable lid allows quick drum placement using overhead cranes, while the cylindrical interior with positioning bars ensures secure drum alignment during transport.

]]> Nuclear Waste Container https://www.nuclear-shields.com/product/nuclear-waste-container/ Tue, 27 Jan 2026 09:57:18 +0000 https://www.nuclear-shields.com/product/nuclear-waste-container/ The Nuclear Waste Container NWC1 is a lead-shielded storage solution designed for low-level waste (LLW) and intermediate-level waste (ILW) applications. Engineered for long-term storage with a design life of 50–100 years, this container serves as both a direct disposal vessel and an overpack for existing 200-liter waste drums.

Multi-layer containment system

The NWC1 incorporates five distinct containment and protection layers to ensure long-term integrity:

  1. Radiation-resistant rubber seal — James Walker Shieldseal 663 radiation-grade gasket fully seals the container lid
  2. High-density PE drum baskets — Secondary containment for each drum prevents cross-contamination
  3. 20 mm steel inner box — Robust primary structural containment
  4. Sealed lead shielding — Configurable from 0–50 mm for dose rate compliance
  5. Multi-layer coating system — Primer, undercoat, final paint, and optional flexible life-extending topcoat

This layered approach provides defense-in-depth against leakage, corrosion, and mechanical damage throughout the container's service life.

]]> Lead Shielded 200-Liter Drum Overpack https://www.nuclear-shields.com/product/shielded-200l-drum-overpack/ Tue, 27 Jan 2026 12:00:43 +0000 https://www.nuclear-shields.com/?post_type=product&p=7996 The Lead Shielded Drum Overpack provides effective radiation shielding and secondary containment for standard 200-liter waste drums. With 50 mm lead shielding on all sides and a specialized two-component polyurethane epoxy coating, this overpack combines dose rate reduction with excellent decontamination properties for nuclear facility operations.

Nuclear Shields engineered this overpack with uniform 50 mm lead shielding on all surfaces—walls, lid, and base. This consistent shielding thickness simplifies dose rate calculations and ensures predictable attenuation regardless of drum orientation within the overpack. The symmetrical design eliminates weak points that could create localized dose rate hotspots during storage or handling. The 50 mm lead thickness provides substantial gamma attenuation for typical LLW and ILW drum contents, reducing surface dose rates to levels suitable for storage areas and routine handling operations.
